SIN - DOHA - CDG

Finally it was the time for us to travel to Europe ! Excited and anxious about it ! It has been a long time!

Great disappointment ! When we reach the airport , the system was down , and the line was so long that we waited for almost one hour before we could check in the luggage and get the boarding pass. 

Both the family and the good friend ,eddy were there to send us off . 

So we board Qatar airway for the very time to transit Doha.... Food was ok, but we are quite tired that most of the time we slept . Love the cabin light when they dim it .

And so we reach Doha and the airport area was huge and they got to transfer you by bus from like bedok to tamp. did a quick and short transfer . Maybe just enough time to pee. And board the plane again to Paris . Slept abit.

And we finally reach Paris ! 

I thought paris airport was huge but doesn't seem so ... Hmm... Then we start to find transport back to hotel as we have huge luggage, it will be troublesome to carry them around the subway. So we paid 17euro for the bus to montparnasse.

 When we reach gare montparnasse , tried to figure the area and tried to walk to the hotel with 2 luggage. Along the way, u could see the effiel tower .

 We finally manage to find the hotel, but was too early for check in. So we went to the nearly food joint for some brunch and dinner.

Our hotel :

Nearest station : Pernety , 20m across the station in a calming and relaxing neigbourhood. Affordable price with compact room size, but good enough for sleeping.

                                          After which we went to Galeries Lafayette

Nearby opera station

                                                                Last of all

                                My first ever Chanel, even if it was just a pair of earrings ...

Remainding of Phuket

My favourite to do in Thailand : fav place to massage is Montra at the basement of Junceylon !

 While searching of the weekend night market of Phuket town, is not so successful, we came across the night market of Karon Beach and spotted the famous snacks!

 The Bdae sabo - eating them !

 

After checking out the hotel, We rode to the Lemongrass house ( place recce earlier by Din and Ying, when they had their fermantle crab for breakfast)  near Surin beach

After returning to the bike, it was our quick dinner before returning to back to Singapore !

With 5mins to go before the car picks up to the airport ! As the emergency responser, we ate as if we are at work , but is totally worth it !

Big Buddha day trip

 (Very late post)

While in phuket during late 26th april 2013, one of the days, we actually rented bike to tour around phuket !
The day started late, as ZP was drunk from the previous night, and woke up very late !




















First stop, Big Buddha 

 I visited the big buddha almost every year since 2008/9 and now, it is still constructing !

 finally, our group photo !

Over the big Buddha, you will see the panoramic view of the south west side of phuket !

Mummy say it good to donate to construction of temple. ( don't get it wrong, I am a christian, however, as a respect to my family and mother, I would occasionally listen to them, and it doesn't mean as a christian, we cant donate !)

While on our way down, I decided to find the food joint I used to visit, but I am not sure if it was closed or i couldn't find it ! But we manage to discover this "Sunset View Point", and they dont serve pork which is perfect for the group !Finally it was brunch at late evening !

 

Although the pricing of the food seem on the high side for thailand, it's portion are huge !  Popiah, fried kway teow, prawn cake, coconut juice !

 The View over the dinner was magnificent and calming

Continuing our journey back to the hotel, we passer by our favorite mango sticky rice !

                                                                                                    the look of a Thai boy 

As I had very late meal in the early evening, and the add on of the sticky rice, it was a bad combination for my stomach. Which later in the night, i developed a bad indigestion that cause me to vomit and up coming fever. But as a trained paramedic, you know what medications to "cure" yourselves !
